"PERFECT BACHELOR GIRL"

Following her recent visit to America with, the Prime Minister and the revelations of her public and private life. Rose Rosen-berg, private secretary to Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald, has been liail•ed in the States as "The Perfect Bachelor Girl." "If I kuow Miss Rosenberg as I believe I do, I can tell you she will not like- this publicity, for, although thoroughly at home in her high and difficult official position at.No. 10, Downing Street, and amazingly capable, she is also of a very retiring disposition, and utterly averse to advertisement" (says an English writer). ''But, at heart, she is really very proud of her position and work—what girl would not b.e? And here is a little further secret that I do not want you to tell her I have told you—slio is also quite proud of her independence and her own personal and private home, where she lives all alone! And this is why the American, progressives of her sex, -on learning of her secret home life, have voted her the 'World's Perfect Bachelor Girl.' And now let us peep into her bachelor home at Chelsea! So true a bachelor girl is she, that lodgings could never appeal to her, nor could one room, with attendance, or a boarding-house. Rose Rosenberg lakes her feminine independence lo the degree that she must have a home of her own. It is a small flat, but it shows a taste that would bear general copying for those other girls who also aspire to happy bachelordom. There is the cosiest—and very feminine—bedroom, a charming but small sitting-dining-room, and a still tinie,- but efficiently equipped kitchen. And it is bore that the Prime Minister's private secretary liver. Miss Rosenberg was ;..u enthusiast for freedom for her sex at the ago of 17, when she first went out to work as assistant to Hie, editor of an American mining journal. She was next typist in a shipping office. And so on to her first beginnings with the Labour Party of Great Britain, and eventually her bold application for the post of personal private secretary to Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald when he became Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons after the General Election of 1018."
